Research Scholar Robert Frank discusses the role of luck in Donald Trump's career

— May 5, 2016

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "I think Trump is very proud as he presents himself as a winner. Interestingly, several people have done the calculation that if he had taken the money that his father gave him--his father was, of course, a very wealthy man--and put it in a mutual fund, he would have more money today than he has today. So he was obviously very, very lucky. He's built some businesses. He's destroyed some businesses."
